Aerodynamic Tests

Post by luciofilho »

Hi people. I was wondering if anyone have used Ibike Newton to test different equipment for aerodynamic gains. If yes, could you share a protocol to be used?

When testing equipment for CdA differences, the best way is the coast down method, which is described in pages 41-48 of Isaac instructions.

You'll need to be quite careful and systematic in order to use this feature, and you'll also need to keep all conditions the same, except the equipment you're testing for CdA.

But if you're careful, you will be able to do what you want!
